The M62 is closed to traffic eastbound following a serious multi-vehicle collision in the West Yorkshire area. National Highways reports that the closure is expected to last for several hours as recovery work and clearing operations get under way.
Local reporting says Greater Manchester Police and National Highways Traffic Officers are on scene. Accounts also note a large amount of debris across the carriageway, which is expected to take time to remove before the road can reopen. One outlet specifies the closure is between junction 22 at Denshaw and junction 24 near Huddersfield, while other coverage describes the shutdown more generally near Huddersfield.
